Just a quick reminder, over a thousand people will be at TFcon Saturday, most of them will be spending lots of money in the dealer room. Many of them will not be bringing enough money and will be making a trek to the hotel ATM and will empty out the hotel ATM. Don't be part of the problem, take out cash before you get to the hotel! :D

Yes - I'll be going beforehand.

Then I'll go the Friday night, and Saturday morning. I'm wary about carrying as much cash as I'll need on my flight, especially since most will get spent quickly.

Protip: Instead of going to your ATM, go INTO your bank itself before the con this weekend. Most ATMs only give a max 400-500 bucks a day while inside you have no limit at an ACTUAL teller.

Here's another hint...

If you're worried about carrying a lot of money in a wallet in your pants pocket, or in a purse...

I went to a travel store and bought a pouch that hangs around my neck and under my shirt. Unless you're wearing a tight shirt, nobody will be able to see you have this pouch, so you won't look goofy.

I feel a lot safer keeping cash in there, because even if someone steals my wallet or I forget my purse on the bus, my money is physically attached to me. There's almost no chance of it being lost or stolen.

Fine, but if I reach into your shirt, I was "in it for the money".

I do need a haircut. I don't think I have enough time.

LOL!

And if I slap you, it's self defense!

*Anybody getting smart ideas about adding a tub of pudding to this scenario can just stop it right now*

Which flavour?

And yeah, it does good to think to not think like everyone else thinks (which is not thinking, or at least saying they'll only spend so much when they know they'll end up spending more :D).

I'm more likely to believe Robimus. If only because it means there's money. :p

I had a few hundred bucks saved up, but then I bought an Xbox 360, now I only have like a $100 to buy stuff. Maybe I can still get one or two encore reissues

Mike: $100 is my usual con budget, but depending on how expensive your tastes are you can get a lot of good stuff for that.

I've had some very good deals on loose toys, and came home with toys, reprolabels, art, patches, etc. I've also had some good trades which stretched the $ even further.
